BREAKING: The Texas Education Agency announced a takeover of the Houston Independent School District. Here's what that means.
The Texas Education Agency has notified the Houston Independent School District regarding a takeover of its schools.
The TEA will be posting on its website a "very transparent application process for individual Houstonians who want to serve on that board to volunteer to do so."The TEA will then spend the next few months reviewing, interviewing candidates, and making sure they’re prepared. The reason for the takeover is due to a law that was set up to ensure school board and school systems are supporting all students, not just some of them.Officials said there have been seven board of manager interventions in the last 20 years where the state had to place a board of managers in a school district to operate the school district for a period of time.
